The Chicago Standard speaking
of sectional differences even among
religious people says ;_________ _
"These differences, even when
the main causes of them have
passed away, cannot be cured in a
day. The habit becomes formed of
regarding even Christian brethren
as living on the other side of the
dividing chasm, and it is not all at
once that the idea is entertained
that this -chasm, may. and ought to
bq filled, perhaps, in fact, has al­
ready disappeared, ami remains
only as a fiction of the imagina­
tion.”
The Christian Index, a Baptist
paper publisflM at Atlanta, Ga.,
recognizes this aw a true statement
of existing differences, and is full
of reflections on •> the actions

an excellent paper, and wifj4.,this

We expect Bro. Floyd to arrive
here within a week, and he will
immediately take charge of the
paper, when we expect to see it
improved in every way. He is a
live man and will doubtless prove
a valuable acquisition to our work
on this coast. We will have fur­

It is gratifying to know of the

State. Various congregations and
individuals have res| winded to the
call for cash and pledges, which,
from true Christians, tk ns good as
cash. And all truly missionary
Christians are true Christians.
